Competent Person Schemes and the NVQ3

[Electricalserv]

This link that I seem to be getting refered to is worrying to me. I have not got the NVQ 3. I have however been in the trade 6 years have 2330 parts 1 & 2, 17th and the 2391

IET Forums - New qualification for qualifying supervisors.

If this is true, has there been an actual confirmation letter from the IET itself? I mean its been nearly 5 months since that post on the IET website. But no confirmation directly from them? I can't find it anywhere. OP states he had an e-mail from Voltimum regarding this...
Is anyone more up to date on this yet?

Will ring the schemes tommorrow and see what is going on.


This page and the PDF document (right of the screen) on the IET Website are still the same.....

Electrotechnical Assessment Specification - EAS - IET Electrical

What a bummer another £700 to do the NVQ3 if this is correct. i'm just not 100% conviced by the post...has anybody got the official release of the statements?

I've been trying to find the article I read on the "new" requirements but to no avail.

From what I remember... some please correct me if I'm wrong.
If your already a QS then you don't have to get any further quals For those that are not currently QS' and do not have an NVQ Level 3 (either 2356 or the new 2357) there will be a additional course you will be able to take.

This was the Voltimum article: Level 3 qualification to become the minimum requirement for all new Qualified Supervisor applications – Letters to the Editor - Edmundson Electrical

I'm still not 100% conviced by that IQ. Who is Edmunson Electrical? Has that contractor just put the quotes up from a forum???

What is a level 3 equivalent?

Thinks a call to the NICEIC is needed tommorow.

Theres going to be alot of guys out of work by the sounds of it and schemes are going to lose alot of members.

^agreed once you have a grade, they 'IET' cannot take it away from you, grandfather rights and all that

Edmunson electrical (eddies) is a national wholesaler like Citys or Newys

Do I assume that your calling the NICEIC because your already a QS??? If so no need to worry

No, I'm with the Pit but NICEIC are the main governers so il check with them aswell.

Why have the IET not issued a formal statement?

When you say you're not convinced, do you mean by the source of the article or the sentiments of the agreement?

Remember that this is not retrospective and anyone currently listed as a QS can remain so without any further qualifications.

To me, it just shows poor judgement from the original committee for allowing scheme membership with such a low minimum entry requirement.

You might be forgiven for thinking it was a way of addressing the shortage of electricians at the time of the original inception of the schemes (surely not....)

I had my niceic yearly inspection the other week and asked about this subject. He just looked at me with blank eyes and said he hasn't got a clue what I'm talking about. So still none the wiser, sorry.

[morph]

yes , they are level 3 quals so should be ok
please expand if you feel differently

 

[morph]

do you think the Nic or other would just spring this on you at the next inspection without notice? no is the answer, so if they have not written to me ( as they have not) then i wont be worrying

If you want an Approved ticket you need NVQ 3
